Hey Guys,
This is the first problem with my electric brewing setup. I was heating strike water and I popped a breaker on my 240vac hlt element. The SSR is a teledyne sd24r50 with both hot 240v legs switched through it. Breaker is 25amp ebrewsupply branded din rain mounted. Element is camco 5500watt straight ulwd. 30-amp twist lock out of panel and into 10/3 soow. 10 gauge thhn stranded wiring inside panel with a 6 ga feed.
Everything inside the panel is nice and cool to the touch, after physical disconnection from power supply, with the exception of the breaker. I am thinking it is just a bad breaker. I have a spare I can swap in. Even the SSR and heatsink as well as all external wiring.
Should I just swap in the new breaker and give it a go?
